The Complete Infection Control Checklist Every Ontario Dental Office Needs in 2026

Running a dental practice in Ontario means keeping up with strict IPAC (Infection Prevention and Control) protocols — and that starts with having the right supplies on hand, every single day. At Rododonto Supplies, we stock everything your team needs to maintain a safe, compliant, and efficient clinical environment.

Here is a category-by-category breakdown of the infection control essentials you should never run out of — all available at rododonto.ca.

1. Disposable Exam Gloves

Gloves are the frontline barrier in every patient interaction. We carry two trusted lines:

• FitGuard Touch Powder-Free Nitrile Gloves (300/Box) — available in XS, S, M, L, and XL. Medline's most sensitive nitrile glove with textured fingertips for superior grip.

• Alliance Ultra-Soft Powder-Free Nitrile Exam Gloves (100/Box) — latex-free, high elasticity, and maximum comfort for extended procedures.

Pro tip: Stocking multiple sizes reduces the risk of team members reusing ill-fitting gloves, which compromises barrier integrity.

2. Surface Disinfectants and Wipes

Surface disinfection between patients is non-negotiable. We offer a range of hospital-grade options:

• BioTEXT Canister Disinfecting Wipes (160 sheets) — fast and convenient for high-touch clinical surfaces.

• WW SABER Wipes (150 wipes) — hydrogen peroxide-based, kills Norovirus in 5 minutes, sanitizes in 30 seconds.

• SABER D-FEND Ready-to-Use (1L) — fast-acting disinfectant cleaner that eliminates viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

• VERT-2-GO SABER Concentrated Cleaner, Disinfectant and Sanitizer (4L) — multi-action concentrate for large-volume clinic use.

3. Sterilization Pouches

Class 4 self-sealing sterilization pouches are a must for every autoclave cycle. Rododonto stocks all sizes:

• 2.25" x 4" — ideal for small instruments

• 3.5" x 5.25" and 3.5" x 9" — standard dental instruments

• 5.25" x 10" and 7.5" x 13" — larger cassettes and handpieces

• 2.75" x 9" — narrow long instruments

All pouches feature multi-parameter Class 4 indicators with self-sealing closures — no tape required.

4. Sterilization Monitoring

Ontario IPAC guidelines require regular sterilizer monitoring. We carry MED-CHECKS indicators:

• MED-CHECKS Class 5 Steam Sterilizer Integrator Strips (Box/250) — highest level process indicator for each cycle.

• MED-CHECKS Class 4 Steam Sterilizer Indicator Strips (Box/250) — everyday confirmation that sterilization conditions were met.

5. Barrier Protection and Surface Covers

Barrier films and covers reduce cross-contamination and cut down on wipe-down time between patients:

• Barrier Film 4" x 6" Sheets (1,200 sheets/roll) — protect light handles, keyboards, and control panels.

• Light Handle Cover 4" x 5.75" (Box/500) — T-style dental light handle protection.

• Dental Chair Back Protective Sleeve 27.5" x 24" (Box/225) — full back coverage for dental chairs.

• Tray Sleeves for Ritter-B or ADEC Trays 10.5" x 14" (Box/500) — keeps instrument trays protected.

6. Patient Comfort Disposables

Small touches make a big difference in patient experience. Keep treatment rooms fully stocked:

• Dental Bibs 13" x 18" 2-Ply Tissue with 1 Ply Poly (500/Case) — absorbent, durable, and leak-resistant in multiple colours.

• Headrest Covers — tissue/poly and plastic options from Aurelia and Crosstex.

• Drinking Cups Paper Poly Coated 5oz (Pkg/100) — easy handling and safe disposal for every patient.

• TIDI Dental Cotton Rolls #2 Medium (Box/2000) — reliable absorbency for isolations and procedures.

• SAFE-FLO Saliva Ejectors with One-Way Valve (Clear) — prevents fluid backflow for added patient safety.

7. Hand Hygiene Products

Proper hand hygiene is the single most impactful infection control measure your practice can implement:

• NXT Purell Advanced Hand Sanitizer (1000ml) — the gold standard in alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

• Aloe-Care Anti-Bacterial Lotion Hand Soap (1000ml pump bottle) — moisturizing antibacterial soap that replenishes skin during intensive daily handwashing.

• VERT-2-GO Hand Soap Fragrance and Dye-Free (4L) — ideal for practices with staff who have product sensitivities.
